Prayers

When I was little I never had a doubt

I never questioned if You existed

But as I grew older things took a turn

I wondered where You had gone to

 

I felt all alone in the world

And I blasted my music so loud

As to drown out my own thoughts

Because they took me to unpleasant places

 

What were You doing then?

Sitting on a cloud, watching me suffer?

I kept thinking You would intervene

Swoop down and save me

 

Well it took two long years

Before You finally answered my prayers

You told me You’d always been there

You’d never abandoned me as I’d feared

 

You helped me to stay afloat

You kept me from getting carried away

The waves made my whole world spin around

But You never let me sink

 

You nudged me in the right direction

You promised I’d always have Your protection

You gave me the strength to persevere

And the courage to stand up for myself

 

You may have seven billion children

But to You I’m still special

You’re the one who loves me regardless

Who won’t leave me even if I asked You to

 

You’re the one who never gave up

Who still believed that there was hope for me

In a time that was dark and desperate

You sent me an angel to restore me

 

Even now I can feel Your influence

And sometimes I still question Your actions

But part of faith is accepting them

And understanding everything has a reason

 

Life may never be easy for someone like me

But You’ll always be there to guide me

When I start to stray from Your path

I know You’ll reach down and pull me back

 

Because You see what they don’t

To You I’m beautiful and full of potential

And even when I let You down

You'll never let me go
